In this article, Kate Fukawa-Connelly, Director of Communications for the National Association of Advisors for the Health Professions (NAAHP) outlines a few creative ways to continue developing yourself as an applicant during a time when many extracurricular activities or experiences have been canceled.
Some of these include:
- Consider creative ways that you can be helpful within your local community - reconnecting with high school mentors may help you brainstorm.
- Reach out to retired health care professionals through your campus's alumni network and talk with them about their perspectives on their careers and the current pandemic.
- Embrace the time for self-reflection and journaling - thinking about your past experiences as an aspiring healthcare provider may help you plan more strategically for the future.
